What Is Optical Character Recognition (OCR)?

Introduction to OmniPage Pro

 9

Basic Steps of OmniPage Pro OCR 

These are the basic steps of OmniPage Pro’s OCR process.

1

Bring a document image into OmniPage Pro.

You can scan a paper document or load an image file. The 
resulting image appears in OmniPage Pro’s image viewer. See 
“Bringing Document Images into OmniPage Pro” on page 20 for 
more information.

2

Create zones to identify areas you want to recognize as 
text or retain as graphics.

Zones are borders that enclose the areas of a document image that 
will get processed. You can create zones automatically, manually, 
or with a template. Any areas not enclosed by zones are ignored 
during OCR. See “Creating Zones for OCR” on page 22 for more 
information.

3

Perform OCR to convert text information into editable 
text characters.

During OCR, OmniPage Pro interprets text characters in an image. 
After OCR, you can check and correct errors in the text using the 
OCR Proofreader. See “Performing OCR on a Document” on page 
23 for more information.

4

Export the document to the desired location.

You can save your document to a specified file format, place it on 
the Clipboard, or send it as a mail attachment. See “Exporting 
Documents” on page 34 for more information.

There are different ways to start the OCR process in OmniPage Pro. See 
“Ways to Process Documents” on page 18 for more information.
